Thomaston, Maine - Trekkers, a local youth mentoring organization, was recently awarded a grant from Camden National Bank in support of the program’s multi-year expansion. Trekkers is now completing the third year of a step-wise expansion process aimed at serving twice as many students across their six community service area.“Everyone at Trekkers is so grateful to Camden National Bank for their continued support of our students and our expanding program. This grant will help us provide mentoring relationships and more expeditionary learning opportunities to area youth,” stated Executive Director, Don Carpenter. “Camden National Bank shares our devotion to young people.
